the writer's true name should
appear, the main object being
usually to leave the mind of the
reading public unbiased and UNI
prejudiced through this very fact
that the authors name is not known.
No matter how fair-minded person
thinks himself he is bound to be in
fueneed more or less by the true
name of the writer, whether friend
or an enemy, in both cases he is apt
to applaud or condemn before he
has thoughttul'y and conscienti usly
read and weighed the communica-
ton. There are of coure some, who
write over q nom de plume and who
are at the same time we'll known to
the public, not taking the trouble to
hide their identity and again,
others who change their signatures
to every article they produce but
the fact still remains that the argu-
ment and not the writer should be
considered. And if some Of our
friends should commit the error let
them do so in the only eXcusahle
way, that is, sign their names in full
TO their replies. Under no circum-
stance commit that fragrant breach
of honor, breeding and etiquette of
attacking a mans character anony-
mously. No man of honor will
lower his dignity so far as to assail
a mans character publicly or pri-
vately above a nom de plume.
When it comes to that, the I'M
written code of honor teaches a gen.
tleman that TO fitch mans good
name, or throw out inuendoes,
which by the way is the most cow
ardly of all assaults, is equivalent
TO hitting an unprotected and power
less person, and hitting him from
behind at that. "Who steals my
purse, steals trash, tits something,
nothing. Twas mine, It's his, and
has been slaves to thousands. But
he that filches from me my good
name, robs me of that which not
enriches him, and makes me poor
indeed" The only thing that is
left for man of honor to do against
this class is to treat them with silent
contempt. A gentleman can never
be insulted by one who is below
him.
So much on the discredit which
personalities reflect on the indulgers
of this questionable pastime. But
there is another point which every
thinking man will acknowledge to
he a fact, it is the weakest and
hardest way to convince the public
of the unsoundness of an argument
by attacking the writer's personal
standing. Attack his theories point
out his inconsistency or impossible
ties, upset his principles and your
battle is won.
There is yet another reason why
none of us in our little town of
Honolulu should indulge in person
alities. We all, with very few ex-
ceptions, have a skeleton in our
closets at home somewhere. Let us
hide it, let us not have this horror
of ours dragged into public print.
1t is not nice, it is bound TO reflect
discredit on all of us. Therefore,
gentlemen, dealing in public and
political questions, leave PERSONAL
ties out of the papers and only at
tack principles, arguments and theo-
ries. A CONVERT.

PUBLIC WRITING.

EDITOR BULLETIN Permit me to
make few remarks about public
writing as appearing in correspond
ence for the press of Honolulu.
There seems to be quite mania,
habit, perhaps ignorance or over
sight, call it what you like, of at
lacking the writer of an article
rather than his theories or argu-
ments. The fault of this is all the
greater if it is done over an assumed
name. This, Mr.. Editor, 1 should
say is not alone wrong of the parties
indulging in such personalities as
concerning themselves, but is also
wronging you by asking your indul-
gence to publish something which is
not of general public interest, and
therefore irrelevant.
For instance, person writes an
article that another does not like;
the latter Immediately rushes into
print, not assailing the soundness of
this argument but the persons politi-
cal or social standing. This is GER
tainly ignorance. Whether inten-
tional or otherwise, it only reflects
on the writer of such personalities.
A man may be a reprobate both
socially and politically, yet he may
for all that be a clever and intelli-
gent man, and his suggestions con-
corning the public welfare, need not
be condemned on that score, because
they might be just as good, if not
better, than those which are written
over the signatures of our best men
in the community.
In no communication of public
interest, exec pit when of q personal
character, is it an essentially that

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House resumed at l p. NJ.
Minister Green said that since
the morning session, he and his
colleagues had read the resolution
over carefully, and considered that
it only expressed the views of the
Cabinet in the premises; and that
they should certainly instruct the
agent in London to go into a
thorough investigation of the matter,
and find out, if possible, who the
parties are that have acted illegally,
and then take proceedings against
them, for the recovery of such sums
as have been illegally expended.
Mr.. Green then read letter from
Mr.. Macfarlane in regard to the
transmission of the bonds, in which
he advises the Government to send
them through Wells Fargo Co. IS
express. And also says that as soon
as the bonds are delivered, Mr.. Arm
strong will render a detailed ac-
count of the expenditures in connec-
ton with the loan.
Mr.. Green stated that the first
part of the letter was satisfactory
enough, but the latter part was un-
satisfactory, in fact, it was on par
with all other statements in regard
to the f15,000. If when the bonds
are issued, we do not get a satisfac-
tory statement of expenditures, then
l say sue the agents, and make
them render statement.
The bill passed its third reading.
On motion the resolution was
taken from the table for reconsider
alton. After some debate the reso'
luton was adopted.

All Medical Authorities

Agree that catarrh is no more nor less than an
Inflammation of the lining membrane of the
nasal air passages.
Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affection OF
the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is
serious mistake to treat them as such. No
conscientious physician ever attempts to do
SO.
I'll held by eminent medical men that
sooner or later specific will be found for every
disease from which humanity suffers The
facts justify US in assuming that for catarrh at
least.a positive cure already exists in Ely's
